Bluetooth Toggle As Today Plugin - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is there any application that makes putting bluetooth toggle as today plugin possible in WM5 ????
Please Help !!!
Maybe Like This One -->
Thanks in advance

download and install batterystatus. Very easy to find as it is all over this forum. Go to the options and select the Tray Launch Tab. You will be able to add bluetooth,wi-fi,phone, as well as many other options to the tray at the bottom of your screen.

this should work
found this somewhere, i have it installed and it works good.doesnt take up much space either.

As an alternative, Vijay codes up a bunch of really handle utilities, and one (VJvolubilis http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) can toggle BT. Then all you need is a today screen shortcut to his prog with the right suffix. cLaunch should do it if you want it on the today screen instead of the tray, or even create a drop-down menu controlled by a hard key with something like WM5NewMenu. All these are free, but I'm sure the developers would love a donation!

Theres a registry hack on ppcgeeks that enables that and wifi on your today screen if I find it i'll post it

I have been searching for this for a while now. I have started using phone weaver and turned everything else off but BT. See cab and thumbnail. In thumbnail look in bottom right corner of today screen for activated BT! I would like this to happen without running Phone weaver, seems to take up a little more memory than I would like for this type of app, but it works great and I am happy with it. Just what I wanted, if I could actually get rid of the few little icons to the left of the BT I would be VERY happy thats my main gripe here...
Cheers!

Efcomm.cab is what you need

Not quite what I am looking for, I just want a Bluetooth ICON that is a today plugin no WIFI, NO Phone, just an icon so I can turn it on and off using my finger.....

ciclebt.cab.... and assigne to hardware button. or use as app via applauncher programs.

You can use btIO-mini (see attached file). In this zip there are 2 files.
I made this for 2 reasons. The first is to have a quick toggle via HTC Home integration, and the second ist to be able to turn on/off BT via voice command.
1. bluetooth.lnk -> put this in your \windows\startmenu\program files\ folder
2. btIO-mini.exe put this in \program files\btIO\
3. Make a shortcut from your favorite launcher today-plugin to btIO-mini.exe
Make a softreset, after that you can use voice command to turn on/off bluetooth.
There is no visible indication, like pop-up or message box that tells you which state BT is. The program just looks in which state BT is and if it's off it turns BT on in connectable (invisible) mode, and if it's on it simly turns BT off and exits.
So this is not exactly what you asked since it is not a today plugin but maybe it will help you.
Cheers
EDIT: Be warned! The program icon is ****ing ugly. Will have to find a better one...

Thank you guys for your response ....
But I'm asking about the plugin in the attached picture ...
thank u again ..

Works very nicely - thanks for the link..
I use the small icon for the connection settings to check if BT or WiFi is ON in my EXEC. I was just wondering, what you use that icon for since you were all looking for a BT Icon?

The icon allows you to avoid a few screen taps to change the bluetooth setting. Plus it's a visual indicator of the bluetooth status, without relying on a flashing light... Hope that helps!

As many have said. You will also need to soft reset to see it. It will also show (besides avoiding taps) whether you are connected or not (another icon next to it will show a live link. Extermely useful. I have a bluetooth car kit and sometimes will not connect and no way for me knowing without tapping few times. This will show me a live connection has been established.

Today Plugin - Wireless (Universal tweak, works on Wizard)

Not sure if this has been posted in the Wizard forums before but i just found this in the Universal forums and now have a new Today plugin that displays the status of my Wireless connections. It seems to work for everything except GPRS
Just add the keys below to the Wizards registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
For the full info on this, check the Universal forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43751
Cheers,
Chris
Nice find puckster will try it - any chance of a screen shot?

There is a photo in the Universal post but here's a screenshot of my K-JAM. The items only seem to activate on the Today screen when you enable the Particualr Wireless mode. As WiFi is disabled as soon as i connect ActiveSync i enabled WiFi in Comm Manager and quickly took the screenshot before WiFi was turned off, hence the unavailable status.
Note you cannot interact with this plugin. it is purely display only.
CHeerts,
Thanks puckster shows up on the list of the items list/today but not on the screen. I assume that is cuz I have no wifi connection right

When I added the entry, I had to go into the Today setting and uncheck, then re-check "Wireless" which made it appear. At a minimum you should see a bluetooth symbol that says on or off.
If you still can't get it to show up, double check the dword entries you created.
Btw - thanks for bringing this over to the Wizard forum Puckster..it's a handy little Today item.
Mine displays Carrier / Flight Mode & Bluetooth as well as WiFi status.
If WiFi is disabled it does not display on the today plugin however my Bluetooth is always displayed there even when turned off. The Carrier (Vodafone in my case) changes to Flight Mode when you enable it.
I would possibly re-check the registry keys. Also i just remembered i did add 2 extra keys to my registry that werent mentioned in the Universal thread.
I have attached a registry export of the key i created on my K-JAM so maybe you could use this as template as it works on mine.
NOTE: All of the keys are decimal dword entries except DLL which is a string.
Chris
Thanks for your help and I have rechecked everything and all seems ok. Phm reg editor can't seem to import the reg file you gave me ;(
It's nice to have the indicators...but I wish they didn't require the real estate of a whole additional Today bar. I would love to find a way to put indicators like that in the icon tray at the bottom (just above the Contacts soft key image).
this is exactly what i wanted much appreciated.
no go here, but I'm on an old, old ROM
Thanx Puckster, worked like a charm
Exactly what i was lookinf for ty again
zeeboxx:
You need to be using the new AKU2 roms for this to work
which answers "meschle"'s question - assuming he's still on 1.6.7.1
this is excellent... cheers guys!
Hi all,
i have put it in CAB file.

Have the same on Himalaya
Hi,
I running WM5 on my Himalaya and I have it by default. However, when I tap in the area, it takes me to the Comm Manager or Wireless Manager.
Same on the Wizard or should I check potential differences in the reg?
Cheers,
Hal.
yes. please check the differences. When I click on it, it does nothing.
Thanks.
Having a friend check on his PPC 6700 once he finishes the upgrade.

ammar you are the best man, I have tried all other methods. yours only worked. God bless you.
I ran ammar's cab. The Wireless box appears in my Today screen, and I tried checking and unchecking it, tried soft resets, even tried a re-install of the cab file. I have a T-Mobile MDA, and I have SPB Today Plus and PHM Traylaunch running. I'm using the black theme.
Anything else I might try?

Turn on GPRS from Menu Bar, Now You Can

After being ticked off about not being able to turn on GPRS like we could on WM2003, you know tap on the "G" and select turn on GPRS or something like that. I have since been on a restless pursuit to find a simple and small program to take care of this...Well my search has ended, here is that small (4.5kb) program. Just copy to programs and create a shortcut to the today screen or if using wisebar even better..Once their just tap (make sure phone is on). It will connect to GPRS and also tell you your IP Address....Enjoy
"VJVolubilis -gprson" might provide an alternative with some other functionality thrown in as well.
V
Any feedback...working well for everyone?????
Perfect!!!!!
Just what I needed! And easy to get working!
Thanks man!
Frode
I assigned the voice recorder hardware button as GPRS.exe by PQz2 (http://www.nicque.com/PQz/).
It's great convinience!
Thank you!
When you say "Programs", which folder do you mean? Can you please specify the path. There are 2 "Programs" folder.
If you want it to show up with all your regular programs then place it in
windows/start menu/programs. Otherwise you can put it anywhere if you
are using Wisebar or a program like Ilauncher.
If I turn GPRS ON using this program, how do I turn it OFF?
you can turn it off via comm manager or just tap the connected icon in the menu bar and then tap disconnect. nothing changes you just turn off like always....
@cktlcmd
you also can switch off the gprs connection by pressing the red telephon key for about 3 seconds.
Wolfgang
VJVolublis -grpsoff or -gprstoggle can also do that. Although pressing red is faster

Perfect, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for, for use with PocketPuTTY. I especially like the fact that it tells you your new IP.

Bluetooth on Today

Can someone make a cab that would be a plugin for the today screen that would show a bluetooth icon that would allow me to turn BT on and off? What I have is the HTC home plugin, and i would like the BT icon under that on the left with my calendar showing up to the right of it....Do you understand what I mean? I have looked and looked but haven't found anything to do this. PLEASE someone help me. I have found one program similar but all I want is BT control with the icon. Can someone help me? Basically the BT icon on the left and my calendar show up right next to it on the right.
Thanks in advance!!
There's a program called BTToggle that allows you to turn it on or off just by launching it. You can put a direct link on your screen or as I did, a assigned one of my hotkeys to it...

same thing here. seems like it started with me after I used my s9 bluetooth headset. when I used my wired set, I don't think this happened.
I have the same issue, but it doesn't have any consequences for me.
Another issue I do have with S2U2 is when I make a call via a bluetooth headset, the keypad disables and it happens often that keys are pressed while the phone is in my pocket after I made a call. Haven't found a setting that disables this either.
i tried to install it but i get the error that it is not signed and therefor not running.
i looked up everything here but there is so much on S2U2 that i dont know what to install in wath order.
-go here and download the wvga version and the language pack.
-extract the s2u2 cab file in your memory card and the correct language file.
-install the cab in your tp2 (not in the memory card), rename the language file (i.e. lang.english.ini->lang.ini) and copy it into \programs\s2u2 folded (when asked click on replace existing file).
-reboot.
when windows starts a popup appears and s2u2 starts for the first time. so you can now set it up in s2u2 setting (wallpaer, ecc...)
thx dude for the lightning fast response
you're welcome...solved?
yep, just ninstalled it and works fine.
one more issue...
S2U2 is not picking the weather from HTC's weather panel... wht do u think is wrong?
thx....
mine shows weather correctly...have u selected touchflo3d in s2u2 settings?
...have you downloaded the weather for the location and have you setting up the gmt time for the same locatioon in home tab?
to show weather correctly weather tabs must shows the same location as gmt time.
sorry for my English...
the seven options for weather that s2u2 1.62 gives me are
Off | SPB Weather 1.x | Weather Panel | Pocket Weather | HTC Home Weather | UserWeather | Manila 2D Weather | Manila 3D Weather
I selected both Weather panel and HTC Home Weather, none seem to work.
Yes, tocuflo3d's weather panel has downloaded the latest weather updates...
my home location and time are correct too...
thx....
EDIT: I tried Manilla 3D and its working! .... hmm.... is tht its name?....
yeah!
Hey I just installed S2U2 cause I needed a good locking program but for some weird reason and multiple installations, uninstall and soft-resets, I'm still not able to get the slide to unlock work.
I mean i get the screen with the time and all just the slider isn't there.
i have tried many skins but still no go.
Is there a solution I don't know?
thanks for your help.

In the S2U2-Settings, set the following values (beside the others you want, of course):
Hide all softkeys: OFF (This is the value that hides the slider)
Display mode: GDI (Otherwise the screen would be scrambled sometimes when you change the orientation)

It won't go completely away by this but it's much better than with the other display driver modes.
